Accountants, clinics, law firms, schools, banks, and service businesses all want to wish their clients a happy Diwali, but a sale graphic is the wrong tone and a family card looks out of place on a company page. This portrait post sits between the two: festive enough to feel warm, formal enough to carry a business logo with dignity.
Does This Post Suit Your Business?
| If your business is | This post fits because |
|---|---|
| A professional service (accounting, legal, consulting) | The layout is calm and centred, with no prices or promotions |
| Healthcare (clinic, dental, pharmacy) | The message speaks of wellbeing and prosperity rather than sales |
| Education (school, tutoring, coaching) | It can be signed by the whole institution |
| Finance (bank, insurance, investment) | Emerald and gold read as stable and trustworthy |
| A retailer between sale posts | It gives your feed a pause from offers |
Inside the Onion Arch Greeting Design
The post is 1080 x 1350 pixels, the tall 4:5 portrait size that takes up the most space in Instagram and Facebook feeds. The background is a deep emerald green. Gold paisleys sit in all four corners, angled inward like the corner ornaments of an embroidered shawl. In the centre stands a tall cream panel shaped like an onion dome arch, with a fine gold line traced just inside its edge.
Inside the arch, from top to bottom: a logo frame, Wishing you a in emerald Great Vibes script, HAPPY DIWALI in large maroon Cinzel capitals, a small gold divider, a two-line wish in Lora, the sign-off line FROM ALL OF US AT GREENLEAF ACCOUNTING in spaced capitals, and a pink lotus flanked by two brass diyas at the foot of the arch. The Office Templates Online mark sits beneath the arch on the emerald.
Placing Your Logo
The logo frame near the top of the arch shows the Office Templates Online mark as a sample. Click it and choose Replace Image, then upload your logo. The frame keeps its size, and your logo fits inside. A logo with a transparent or white background looks best on the cream. If your logo is square or round rather than wide, resize the frame with its handles so it does not look stretched, and keep it centred above the script line.
A Brand Checklist Before You Post
- Is the logo the current version, not an old one saved on someone’s desktop?
- Is the company name in the sign-off spelled exactly as on your other channels?
- Do the colours sit well with your brand? If not, change the emerald background to your primary dark colour.
- Is the message free of offers, so it reads as a genuine greeting?
- Has someone who celebrates Diwali read the post? A second pair of eyes catches tone problems.
- Have you added alt text when posting, such as Happy Diwali greeting from Greenleaf Accounting with a lotus and diyas?
Writing the Wish
The sample wish reads: May the festival of lights bring prosperity to your home and success to your business. It speaks to both personal and professional life, which suits a business audience. Alternatives that fit the two-line space:
- Wishing you light, health, and happiness this festive season and always.
- Thank you for your trust this year. May Diwali bring joy to you and your family.
- May every diya you light bring peace, good health, and new beginnings.
Choosing the Sign-Off
FROM ALL OF US AT is a warm way to sign as a team. For a sole practitioner, sign as DR. MEERA SHAH AND THE CLINIC TEAM or simply your name and title. For a school, FROM THE STUDENTS AND STAFF OF works well. Keep the sign-off in capitals and on one line; shorten the company name if it wraps.
Emerald, Teal or Navy: Colour Options for Business
Emerald and gold suit finance and professional services. For a healthcare brand, a deep teal works well. A navy background feels corporate, and maroon feels traditional and festive. The paisleys, lotus, and diyas are editable vectors with their own colour swatches; if your brand colour is pink or purple, the lotus can be recoloured to match. Keep the cream arch light so the logo and text remain easy to read.
Where to Share the Post
Download a PNG at full size. Post it on Instagram and Facebook as a portrait image; both show 4:5 posts at full height in the feed. On LinkedIn, it displays slightly cropped in some views, so for a LinkedIn first greeting, use the square LinkedIn-wish post in this collection. The image also works in WhatsApp Business broadcasts to clients and as an image at the top of a short email greeting.
When Businesses Post Diwali Greetings
Diwali falls on Sunday, November 8, 2026. Many businesses post on the Friday before (which is also Dhanteras) so the greeting is seen during working hours, then share it again on Diwali morning.
Business Greeting Post Questions
Can I add our office photo?
The arch is designed for a logo and words. For a team photo greeting, the family photo card in this collection is a better starting point; replace the family name with your company name.
Can I remove the corner paisleys?
Yes. Select each and delete it. The arch still frames the post well on a plain background.
Can I make a square version?
Copy the arch contents onto a square canvas, or use the LinkedIn wishes post, which is already square.
Posting the Greeting on Behalf of Several Branches
Businesses with more than one location often want the same greeting on each branch page. Make one master version with the company logo, then duplicate the design for each branch and change only the sign-off line, for example, FROM ALL OF US AT GREENLEAF ACCOUNTING, EDISON. Keep the wording and colours identical so customers recognise the brand, and schedule the posts for the same morning so the greeting appears across every page at once.
Greet Your Clients With Grace
Add your logo, adjust the wording and sign-off, and post the greeting in the days before Diwali. It is a small gesture that clients notice and remember.
